A Legacy in Hard Copy
Every office has boxes of photos, documents, and articles.
All of it would be
more useful if it were put into the computer. How do you get this vast
legacy from the real world into the digital? You need a
scanner.
A scanner captures your images like
a copy machine. The photo or document is placed face down on a glass
plate and a light travels across the photo recording the image. (Don’t
look at the light!) Scanners can capture black and white as well as
color images. Look for a scanner that has an expanding hinge so you can
scan books and magazines.
